The Season On The Line For St. John's Means One Thing And One Thing Only - Rick Pitino Breaking Out The All White Suit To Assert Dominance

This is why you hire Rick Pitino. The last week or so has been everyone blasting him for blasting his team. I mean, shit, he's right. St. John's has been awful and he thinks it's his players fault. Everyone freaking out that a coach can't say that stuff or be frustrated and what does Pitino do? White suit. This sets the tone. You think anyone is going to question this guy?

My only complaint was we didn't know this before the game started. Rick Pitino should be forced to hold a press conference announcing he's going with the Miami Vice Colonel Sanders look. You can't tell me this is why St. John's has a lead right now. 32-25 in the first half as I blog this. 

Like I said, season on the line, you gotta break out anything and everything. A loss here basically locks St. John's in needing to win the Big East Tournament to get in. A win? You're in the conversation. You can set yourself up. Everyone has a plan until white suit comes to town. This man was made to coach in New York City. 

PS: All the stars are out today. Look at this power trio.
